why is there so much animosity
one could easily see that the so called seniors are very rude. this guy might be wrong with the title of his post but than this is what he probably thought. Just because you know something doesn't mean that you have to be rude to others as it must have taken long time for you guys to learn.i didn't see any straight answers or clear reference to anything that these guys have given.
be nice to newbies as once you were also one
Yes, that may be true. But, if you've spent time studying, researching, debugging, etc, why would you not mention that?
Why would you then just post, "My car doesn't work - what's wrong with it?"
Is it not obvious that anyone else is going to need the background information, symptoms, etc, to be able help with that?
Is it not obvious that nobody knows what your car is if you don't tell them?
I'm afraid experience suggests that, in 98% of cases, it it isn't mentioned, it wasn't done.
